AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The solution effectively prevents collisions and damage by securely removing powder material layer by layer, maintaining product integrity and ensuring a clean operating environment, facilitating the post-processing operation while preventing powder from hindering the operator's line of sight.

Problems solved by technology

When a prototype formation comprises separate component parts, the powder material collapses and these parts lose support such that they may fall or collide with each other.
Since the bonding agent has not undergone any curing process and treatment, the aforementioned prototype formation may generation deformation or may be damaged once collision occurs.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, in an exemplary embodiment, a 3D printed product post-processing device is provided, and it allows a plurality of 3D printed products 30 to be removed from a cartridge 10. The powder cartridge 10 includes a base plate 11 and a plurality of side plates 12 surrounding the base plate 11. The powder cartridge 10 contains a powder material 20 received therein. In an embodiment, the powder material 20 received inside a space formed by the base plate 11 and the side plates 12. In addition, the 3D printed product 30 is buried inside the powder material 20; wherein at least one 3D printed product 30 is separated from the base plate 11 of the powder cartridge 10. In an exemplary embodiment, the 3D printed product post-processing device comprises a main body 100, a lifting mechanism 200 and a vacuum pipeline 300.

[0021]In an embodiment, the main body 100 is a housing constructed by metal plates. The main body 100 includes an operating chamber 110 formed at an...

Abstract

A 3D printed product post-processing device includes a main body, a lifting mechanism and a vacuum pipeline. An operating chamber is defined in the main body. A cavity and at least one primary recovery opening disposed adjacent to a side of the cavity are defined on a bottom surface of the operating chamber. At least one access hole is arranged on one side of the operating chamber and an operating window is arranged on the operating chamber. A floating powder recovery opening is arranged on top of the other side of the operating chamber. The lifting mechanism is accommodated in the cavity. The vacuum pipeline is respectively connected to the primary recovery opening and the floating powder recovery opening. The floating powders are removed through the floating powder recovery opening to maintain the operating window clean. Therefore, a post-processing operation can be facilitated.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]The technical field relates to a 3D printed product post-processing device, in particular, to a 3D printed post-processing device for removing floating powders.Description of Related Art[0002]Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology mainly uses the raw material of powders, such as ceramic, metal, gypsum, plastic powders and so on. 3DP uses a power bed to receive the powder material, and it uses a inject printing head to eject a bonding agent into the powders in order to allow the bonding agent to bond powders together; consequently, through layers of bonding and formation, it is able to create a prototype formation. In general, after the creation of the prototype formation is complete, it is received inside a power cartridge and is buried inside the remaining powder material; therefore, it requires a post-processing device to remove the remaining powders in order to obtain the finished product therefrom. Once the powder cartr...
